Dubai, UAE: Emirates Green Building Council (EmiratesGBC), an independent organisation that promotes and educates on green issues in the built environment, is hosting a series of informative and networking sessions featuring dynamic speakers at the 28th United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP28) to showcase how increased ambition and acceleration of built environment solutions can get climate action on track. At Expo City Dubai where COP28 will be held from Nov 30 to Dec. 12, EmiratesGBC will host sustainability experts, construction sector professionals, and other industry stakeholders to raise awareness and discuss the systemic changes required to decarbonise the built environment and ensure the delivery of a just, equitable energy transition. Positioning the built environment as a critical sector to achieve climate adaptation and mitigation goals, the sessions will explore integrated sustainability solutions that address whole life carbon emissions of existing and new buildings, enable resilient, healthy, equitable and inclusive places, and secure resource efficient and waste-free infrastructure.  As a member of WorldGBC, a global network of Green Building Councils leading the transformation of the built environment in 75+ countries, EmiratesGBC will connect ambition with action, and policy with implementation to lead the transformation to decarbonised, resilient and circular built
